The present disclosure is generally directed to antiviral compounds, and more specifically directed to compounds which can inhibit the function of the NS5A protein encoded by Hepatitis C virus (HCV), compositions comprising such compounds, and methods for inhibiting the function of the NS5A protein.

HCV is a major human pathogen, infecting an estimated 170 million persons worldwide—roughly five times the number infected by human immunodeficiency virus type 1. A substantial fraction of these HCV infected individuals develop serious progressive liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Presently, the most effective HCV therapy employs a combination of alpha-interferon and ribavirin, leading to sustained efficacy in 40% of patients. Recent clinical results demonstrate that pegylated alpha-interferon is superior to unmodified alpha-interferon as monotherapy. However, even with experimental therapeutic regimens involving combinations of pegylated alpha-interferon and ribavirin, a substantial fraction of patients do not have a sustained reduction in viral load. Thus, there is a clear and long-felt need to develop effective therapeutics for treatment of HCV infection.

HCV is a positive-stranded RNA virus. Based on a comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence and the extensive similarity in the 5′ untranslated region, HCV has been classified as a separate genus in the Flaviviridae family. All members of the Flaviviridae family have enveloped virions that contain a positive stranded RNA genome encoding all known virus-specific proteins via translation of a single, uninterrupted, open reading frame.

Considerable heterogeneity is found within the nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequence throughout the HCV genome. At least six major genotypes have been characterized, and more than 50 subtypes have been described. The major genotypes of HCV differ in their distribution worldwide, and the clinical significance of the genetic heterogeneity of HCV remains elusive despite numerous studies of the possible effect of genotypes on pathogenesis and therapy.

The single strand HCV RNA genome is approximately 9500 nucleotides in length and has a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a single large polyprotein of about 3000 amino acids. In infected cells, this polyprotein is cleaved at multiple sites by cellular and viral proteases to produce the structural and non-structural (NS) proteins. In the case of HCV, the generation of mature non-structural proteins (NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B) is effected by two viral proteases. The first one is believed to be a metalloprotease and cleaves at the NS2-NS3 junction; the second one is a serine protease contained within the N-terminal region of NS3 (also referred to herein as NS3 protease) and mediates all the subsequent cleavages downstream of NS3, both in cis, at the NS3-NS4A cleavage site, and in trans, for the remaining NS4A-NS4B, NS4B-NS5A, NS5A-NS5B sites. The NS4A protein appears to serve multiple functions, acting as a cofactor for the NS3 protease and possibly assisting in the membrane localization of NS3 and other viral replicase components. The complex formation of the NS3 protein with NS4A seems necessary to the processing events, enhancing the proteolytic efficiency at all of the sites. The NS3 protein also exhibits nucleoside triphosphatase and RNA helicase activities. NS5B (also referred to herein as HCV polymerase) is a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is involved in the replication of HCV.

Compounds useful for treating HCV-infected patients are desired which selectively inhibit HCV viral replication. In particular, compounds which are effective to inhibit the function of the NS5A protein are desired. The HCV NS5A protein is described, for example, in Tan, S.-L., Katzel, M. G. Virology 2001, 284, 1-12; and in Park, K.-J.; Choi, S.-H, J. Biological Chemistry 2003.

When it is possible that, for use in therapy, therapeutically effective amounts of a compound of formula (I), as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be administered as the raw chemical, it is possible to present the active ingredient as a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, the disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions, which include therapeutically effective amounts of compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The term “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to the total amount of each active component that is sufficient to show a meaningful patient benefit, e.g., a reduction in viral load. When applied to an individual active ingredient, administered alone, the term refers to that ingredient alone. When applied to a combination, the term refers to combined amounts of the active ingredients that result in the therapeutic effect, whether administered in combination, serially, or simultaneously. The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are as described above. The carrier(s), diluent(s), or excipient(s) must be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. In accordance with another aspect of the present disclosure there is also provided a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation including admixing a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable,” as used herein, refers to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and are effective for their intended use.

Pharmaceutical formulations may be presented in unit dose forms containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per unit dose. Dosage levels of between about 0.01 and about 250 milligram per kilogram (“mg/kg”) body weight per day, preferably between about 0.05 and about 100 mg/kg body weight per day of the compounds of the present disclosure are typical in a monotherapy for the prevention and treatment of HCV mediated disease. Typically, the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure will be administered from about 1 to about 5 times per day or alternatively, as a continuous infusion. Such administration can be used as a chronic or acute therapy. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition, the time of administration, the route of administration, the rate of excretion of the compound employed, the duration of treatment, and the age, gender, weight, and condition of the patient. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Treatment may be initiated with small dosages substantially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. In general, the compound is most desirably administered at a concentration level that will generally afford antivirally effective results without causing any harmful or deleterious side effects.

When the compositions of this disclosure comprise a combination of a compound of the present disclosure and one or more additional therapeutic or prophylactic agent, both the compound and the additional agent are usually present at dosage levels of between about 10 to 150%, and more preferably between about 10 and 80% of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen.

Pharmaceutical formulations may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example by the oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual, or transdermal), vaginal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional, intravenous, or intradermal injections or infusions) route. Such formulations may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example by bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier(s) or excipient(s). Oral administration or administration by injection are preferred.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil emulsions.

For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate, as, for example, starch or mannitol. Flavoring, preservative, dispersing, and coloring agent can also be present.

Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture, as described above, and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested.

Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, betonite, xanthan gum, and the like. Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant, and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitable comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, an aliginate, gelating, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and/or and absorption agent such as betonite, kaolin, or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acadia mucilage, or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc, or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compounds of the present disclosure can also be combined with a free flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material, and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.

Oral fluids such as solution, syrups, and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxyethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavor additive such as peppermint oil or natural sweeteners, or saccharin or other artificial sweeteners, and the like can also be added.

Where appropriate, dosage unit formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release as for example by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax, or the like.

The compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles.

Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phopholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine, or phophatidylcholines.

The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The compounds may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamidephenol, polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxidepolylysine substituted with palitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for transdermal administration may be presented as discrete patches intended to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. For example, the active ingredient may be delivered from the patch by iontophoresis as generally described in Pharmaceutical Research 1986, 3(6), 318.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administration may be formulated as ointments, creams, suspensions, lotions, powders, solutions, pastes, gels, sprays, aerosols, or oils.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for rectal administration may be presented as suppositories or as enemas.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for nasal administration wherein the carrier is a solid include a course powder having a particle size for example in the range 20 to 500 microns which is administered in the manner in which snuff is taken, i.e., by rapid inhalation through the nasal passage from a container of the powder held close up to the nose. Suitable formulations wherein the carrier is a liquid, for administration as a nasal spray or nasal drops, include aqueous or oil solutions of the active ingredient.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for administration by inhalation include fine particle dusts or mists, which may be generated by means of various types of metered, dose pressurized aerosols, nebulizers, or insufflators.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or spray formulations.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and soutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets.

It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.

The term “patient” includes both human and other mammals.

The term “treating” refers to: (i) preventing a disease, disorder or condition from occurring in a patient that may be predisposed to the disease, disorder, and/or condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (ii) inhibiting the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., arresting its development; and (iii) relieving the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., causing regression of the disease, disorder, and/or condition.

The compounds and processes of the present disclosure will be better understood in connection with the following synthetic schemes which illustrate the methods by which the compounds of the present disclosure may be prepared. Starting materials can be obtained from commercial sources or prepared by well-established literature methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art. It will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the compounds defined above can be synthesized by substitution of the appropriate reactants and agents in the syntheses shown below. It will also be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that the selective protection and deprotection steps, as well as the order of the steps themselves, can be carried out in varying order, depending on the nature of the variables to successfully complete the syntheses below. The variables are as defined above unless otherwise noted below.

Scheme 1 Symmetric or Asymmetric Biphenyls

Aryl halide 1 and boronic ester 2 can be coupled to produce biaryl 3 using standard Suzuki-Miayura coupling conditions (Angew Chem. Int. Ed. Engl 2001, 40, 4544). It should be noted that the boronic acid analog of 2 may be used in place of the ester. Mono-deprotection of the pyrrolidine moiety may be accomplished when R¹² and R¹³ are different. When R¹²=benzyl, and R¹³=t-butyl treatment to hydrogenolytic conditions produces 4. For example, Pd/C catalyst in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate can be used. Acylation of 4 can be accomplished under standard acylation conditions. A coupling reagent such as HATU in combination with an amine base such as Hunig's base can be used in this regard. Alternatively, 4 may be reacted with an isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride to provide compounds of formula 5 where R⁹ is an amine. Further deprotection of 5 can be accomplished by treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Standard conditions analogous to those used to convert 4 to 5 can be used to prepare 7 from 6. In another embodiment where R¹²=R¹³=t-Bu, direct conversion to 8 can be accomplished by treatment of 3 with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Conversion of 8 to 7 is accomplished in analogous fashion to the methods used to prepare 5 from 4 or 7 from 6. In this instance however, the caps in 7 will be identical.

Conversion of 6 (from Scheme 1) to 10 can be done using standard amide coupling conditions such as HATU with an amine base, such as Hunig's base. Deprotection can be accomplished with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid affording 11. Compound 11 can then be converted to 12, 13, or 14 using an acid chloride, an isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride, or a chloroformate respectively.

Compound 15 (15=7 (Scheme 1) wherein each R⁹ is —CH(NHBoc)R¹⁸) can be converted to 16 via treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Compounds 17, 18, and 19 can be prepared from 16 by treating 16 with an appropriate chloroformate, isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride, or an acid chloride respectively.

Symmetrical biphenyl analogs (compounds of formula 7 where both halves of the molecule are equivalent) can be synthesized starting from bromoketone 20. Amination by displacement with a nucleophile such as azide, phthalimide or preferably sodium diformylamide (Yinglin and Hongwen, Synthesis 1990, 122) followed by deprotection affords 21. Condensation under standard amination conditions such as HATU and Hunig's base with an appropriately protected amino acid provides 22. Heating with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions results in the formation of 3 which can be deprotected with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid (R¹²=R¹³=t-Bu) or by hydrogenolysis with hydrogen gas and a transition metal catalyst such as Pd/C(R¹²=R¹³=benzyl). Acylation can be affected with a carboxylic acid (R⁹CO₂H) in a manner similar to the conversion of 21 to 22. Urea formation can be accomplished by treatment with an appropriate isocycante (R⁹=R²⁴R²⁵N; R²⁵=H) or carbamoyl chloride (R⁹=R²⁴R²⁵N; R²⁵ is other than hydrogen).

Scheme 5 describes the preparation of some of the starting materials required for the synthetic sequences depicted in Schemes 1-4. Key intermediate 25 (analogous to 1 in Scheme 1) is prepared from keto-amide 24 or keto-ester 27 via heating with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions. Keto-amide 24 can be prepared from 23 via condensation with an appropriate cyclic or acyclic amino acid under standard amide formation conditions. Bromide 26 can give rise to 23 by treatment with a nucleophile such as azide, phthalimide or sodium diformylamide (Synthesis 1990, 122) followed by deprotection. Bromide 26 can also be converted to 27 by reacting with an appropriate cyclic or acyclic N-protected amino acid in the presence of base such as potassium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Bromination of 28 with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, NBS, or CBr₄ results in the formation of 26. Bromide 25 can be converted to boronic ester 2 via treatment with bis-pinacalotodiboron under palladium catalysis according to the method described in Journal of Organic Chemistry 1995, 60, 7508, or variations thereof.

In another embodiment, starting materials such as 31a (analogous to 25 in Scheme 5 and 1 in Scheme 1) may be prepared by reacting bromoimidazole derivatives 31 under Suzuki-type coupling conditions with a variety of chloro-substituted aryl boronic acids which can either be prepared by standard methodologies (see, for example, Organic Letters 2006, 8, 305 and references cited therein) or purchased from commercial suppliers. Bromoimidazole 31 can be obtained by brominating imidazole 30 with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, CBr₄, or N-bromosuccinimide. Imidazole 30 can be prepared from N-protected amino acids which are appropriately substituted by reacting with glyoxal in a methanolic solution of ammonium hydroxide.

In yet another embodiment of the current disclosure, aryl halide 32 can be coupled under Suzuki-Miyaura palladium catalyzed conditions to form the heteroaryl derivative 34. Compound 34 can be elaborated to 35 by treatment to hydrogenolytic conditions with hydrogen and a transition metal catalyst such as palladium on carbon (R¹³=benzyl). Acylation of 35 can be accomplished with an appropriate acid chloride (R⁹COCl) in the presence of a base such as triethylamine, with an appropriately substituted carboxylic acid (R⁹CO₂H) in the presence of a standard coupling reagent such as HATU, or with an isoscyanate (R²⁷NCO wherein R⁹=R²⁷R²⁸N—; R²⁸=H) or carbamoyl chloride (R²⁷R²⁸NCOCl wherein R⁹=R²⁷R²⁸N—). Compound 37 can be prepared from 36 (R¹²=t-Bu) via treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Acylation of the resulting amine in 37 to give 38 can be accomplished as in the transformation of 35 to 36. In cases where R¹²=R¹³, 34 can be directly transformed into 39 by treatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid (R¹²=R¹³=t-Bu) or by employing hydrogenolytic conditions with hydrogen and a transition metal catalyst such as palladium on carbon (R¹²=R¹³=benzyl). Acylation of 39 can be accomplished in analogous fashion to that described for the transformation of 35 to 36.

Heteroaryl chloride 29 can be converted to symmetrical analog 40 via treatment with a source of palladium such as dichlorobis(benzonitrile) palladium in the presence of tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene at elevated temperature. Removal of the SEM ether and Boc carbamates found in 40 can be accomplished in one step by treatment with a strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid providing 41. Conversion to 42 can be accomplished in similar fashion to the conditions used to convert 38 to 39 in Scheme 7.

Compound 43 (analogous to 42 wherein R₂₃=—CH(NHBoc)R₂₄) may be elaborated to 45, 46, and 47 via similar methodologies to those described in Scheme 3. In cases where R₂₀=alkoxymethyl (ie; SEM), removal can be accomplished simultaneously with removal of the Boc carbamate (cf; 43 to 44) using strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid.

Heteroaryl bromides 54 may be reacted with a vinyl stannane such as tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)tin in the presence of a source of palladium such as dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) to provide 55 which can be subsequently transformed into bromoketone 51 via treatment with a source of bromonium ion such as N-bormosuccinimide, CBr₄, or bromine. Alternatively, keto-substituted heteroaryl bromides 53 may be directly converted to 51 via treatment with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, CBr₄, or N-bromosuccinimide. Bromide 51 can be converted to aminoketone 48 via addition of sodium azide, potassium phthalimide or sodium diformylamide (Synthesis 1990 122) followed by deprotection. Aminoketone 48 can then be coupled with an appropriately substituted amino acid under standard amide formation conditions (i.e.; a coupling reagent such as HATU in the presence of a mild base such as Hunig's base) to provide 49. Compound 49 can then be further transformed into imidazole 50 via reacting with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions. Alternatively, 51 can be directly reacted with an appropriately substituted amino acid in the presence of a base such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate providing 52 which can in turn be reacted with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditions to provide 50. Imidazole 50 can be protected with an alkoxylmethyl group by treatment with the appropriate alkoxymethyl halide such as 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl chloride after first being deprotonated with a strong base such as sodium hydride.

Substituted phenylglycine derivatives can be prepared by a number of methods shown below. Phenylglycine t-butyl ester can be reductively alkylated (pathyway A) with an appropriate aldehyde and a reductant such as sodium cyanoborohydride in acidic medium. Hydrolysis of the t-butyl ester can be accomplished with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Alternatively, phenylglycine can be alkylated with an alkyl halide such as ethyl iodide and a base such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate (pathway B). Pathway C illustrates reductive alkylation of phenylglycine as in pathway A followed by a second reductive alkylation with an alternate aldehyde such as formaldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent and acid. Pathway D illustrates the synthesis of substituted phenylglycines via the corresponding mandelic acid analogs. Conversion of the secondary alcohol to a competent leaving group can be accomplished with p-toluensulfonyl chloride. Displacement of the tosylate group with an appropriate amine followed by reductive removal of the benzyl ester can provide substituted phenylglycine derivatives. In pathway E a racemic substituted phenylglycine derivative is resolved by esterification with an enantiomerically pure chiral auxiliary such as but not limited to (+)-1-phenylethanol, (−)-1-phenylethanol, an Evan's oxazolidinone, or enantiomerically pure pantolactone. Separation of the diastereomers is accomplished via chromatography (silica gel, HPLC, crystallization, etc) followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary providing enantiomerically pure phenylglycine derivatives. Pathway H illustrates a synthetic sequence which intersects with pathway E wherein the aforementioned chiral auxiliary is installed prior to amine addition. Alternatively, an ester of an arylacetic acid can be brominated with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, N-bromosuccinimide, or CBr₄. The resultant benzylic bromide can be displaced with a variety of mono- or disubstituted amines in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine or Hunig's base. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester via treatment with lithium hydroxide at low temperature or 6N HCl at elevated temperature provides the substituted phenylglycine derivatives. Another method is shown in pathway G. Glycine analogs can be derivatized with a variety of aryl halides in the presence of a source of palladium (0) such as palladium bis(tributylphosphine) and base such as potassium phosphate. The resultant ester can then be hydrolyzed by treatment with base or acid. It should be understood that other well known methods to prepare phenylglycine derivatives exist in the art and can be amended to provide the desired compounds in this description. It should also be understood that the final phenylglycine derivatives can be purified to enantiomeric purity greater than 98% ee via preparative HPLC.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, acylated phenylglycine derivatives may be prepared as illustrated below. Phenylglycine derivatives wherein the carboxylic acid is protected as an easily removed ester, may be acylated with an acid chloride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine to provide the corresponding amides (pathway A). Pathway B illustrates the acylation of the starting phenylglycine derivative with an appropriate chloroformate while pathway C shows reaction with an appropriate isocyanate or carbamoyl chloride. Each of the three intermediates shown in pathways A-C may be deprotected by methods known by those skilled in the art (ie; treatment of the t-butyl ester with strong base such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid).

Amino-substituted phenylacetic acids may be prepared by treatment of a chloromethylphenylacetic acid with an excess of an amine.

The product appeared to be insoluble in MeOH, therefore the r×n mixture was diluted with 5 mL H₂O and a few drops of 6N HCl. The homogeneous solution was filtered through diatomaceous earth (Celite®), and the MeOH removed in vacuo. The remaining solution was frozen and lyophyllized to give a yellow foam (188.9 mg). This material was suspended in THF-H₂O (1:1, 10 mL) and then cooled to 0° C. To the cold mixture was added NaHCO₃ (146.0 mg, 1.74 mmol) carefully (evolution of CO₂). After gas evolution had ceased (ca. 15 min) ClCO₂Me (0.06 mL, 0.78 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was allowed to stir for 2 h and was acidified to pH-2 with 6N HCl and poured into EtOAc. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase extract with EtOAC (×5). The combined organic layers were washed (brine), dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and concentrated to give the title compound as a colorless solid (117.8 mg, 79%).

TFA (8 mL) was added in one portion to a stirred solution of (S)-2-[5-(2-{4-[2-((S)-1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-phenyl}-pyrimidin-5-yl)-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.50 g, 1.98 mmol) in dry CH₂Cl₂ (30 mL) at room temperature. The flask was sealed and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h before the solvent(s) were removed in vacuo. The residue was taken up in methanol, filtered through a PVDF syringe filter (13 mm×0.45 μm), distributed to 8 pHPLC vials and chromatographed by HPLC (gradient elution from 10% B to 100% B over 13 min on a Phenomenex C18 column, 30×100 mm, 10 μm, where A=90% water, 10% methanol, 0.1% TFA, B=10% water, 90% methanol, 0.1% TFA). After concentration of the selected test tubes by speed vacuum evaporation, the product was dissolved in methanol and neutralized by passing the solution through an UCT CHQAX 110M75 anion exchange cartridge. There was isolated the title compound as a yellow mustard-colored solid (306.7 mg, 36% yield) upon concentration of the eluant.

Cold (0° C.) 4 N HCl in dioxanes (4 mL) was added via syringe to (S)-2-{5-[2-(4-{2-[(S)-1-((R)-2-methoxycarbonylamino-2-phenyl-acetyl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-phenyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (104.6 mg, 0.146 mmol) in a 100 mL pear-shaped flask followed by MeOH (0.5 mL). The homogeneous mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min before a precipitate was observed. After stirring further for 1.75 h, the suspension was diluted with ether and hexanes. Suction-filtration of a small portion of the suspension yielded the title compound as a yellow solid which was used for characterization purposes. The balance of the suspension was concentrated down to dryness and placed under high vacuum for 16 h. There was isolated the rest of the title compound also as a yellow solid (137.7 mg, 123%) which was used without further purification.

Example D5 (S)-tert-butyl 2-(5-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Bromine (0.54 mL, 10.6 mmol) was added dropwise to a cold (0° C.) solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoroacetophenone (2.30 g, 10.6 mmol) in dioxane (80 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (80 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. and warmed to RT for 15 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated NaHCO₃ solution, 5% sodium thiosulfate solution and brine prior to drying (Na₂SO₄). 2-Bromo-1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)ethanone (D1) was isolated as a colorless film which solidified upon further concentration under high vacuum. This solid was dissolved into anhydrous acetonitrile (50 mL) and treated with N-Boc-L-proline (2.28 g, 10.6 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (1.85 mL, 10.6 mmol). After being stirred for 3 h at RT, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned into ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with 0.1N hydrochloric acid, saturated NaHCO₃ solution and brine prior to drying (Na₂SO₄), filtration, and concentration. This residue was taken up in xylenes (50 mL) and treated to solid NH₄OAc (4.1 g, 53.0 mmol). The mixture was heated at 140° C. for 2 hr in a thick-walled, screw-top flask before it was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated NaHCO₃ solution and brine prior to drying (Na₂SO₄) and concentration. Purification of the residue by Biotage™ flash chromatography on silica gel (65M column, preequilibration with 16% B for 1800 mL followed by gradient elution with 16% B to 16% B for 450 mL, 16% B to 50% B for 2199 ml and finally 50% B to 100% B for 2199 mL) afforded title compound (D5) (3.61 g, 83%) as a brownish/caramel-colored oil. A small portion (40 mg) of the title compound was further purified by preparative HPLC (20% B to 100% B over 14 min where B is 10 mM NH₄OAc in 10:90 H₂O/ACN and A is 10 mM NH₄OAc in 95:5 H₂O/CAN using a Phenomenex-Gemini 30×100 mm S10 column flowing at 40 mL/min) to afford pure title compound (31.8 mg) as a white solid.

Biological Activity

An HCV Replion assay was utilized in the present disclosure, and was prepared, conducted and validated as described in commonly owned PCT/US2006/022197 and in O'Boyle et. al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2005 April; 49(4):1346-53.

HCV 1b-377-neo replicon cells were used to test the currently described compound series as well as cells resistant to compound A due to a Y2065H mutation in NS5A (described in application PCT/US2006/022197). The compounds tested were determined to have more than 10-fold less inhibitory activity on cells resistant to compound A than wild-type cells indicating a related mechanism of action between the two compound series. Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure can be effective to inhibit the function of the HCV NS5A protein and are understood to be as effective in combinations as previously described in application PCT/US2006/022197 and commonly owned WO/04014852. Further, the compounds of the present disclosure can be effective against the HCV 1b genotype. It should also be understood that the compounds of the present disclosure can inhibit multiple genotypes of HCV. Table 2 shows the EC50 values of representative compounds of the present disclosure against the HCV 1b genotype. In one embodiment compounds of the present disclosure are active against the 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, and 5a genotypes. EC50 ranges against HCV 1b are as follows: A=1-10 μM; B=100-999 nM; C=1-99 nM; and D=10-999 pM.

The compounds of the present disclosure may inhibit HCV by mechanisms in addition to or other than NS5A inhibition. In one embodiment the compounds of the present disclosure inhibit HCV replicon and in another embodiment the compounds of the present disclosure inhibit NS5A.
